Course registration commences each academic year with a request to enrol (or re-enrol) on your degree programme in Studielink. You will need your DigiD to do so. After enrolment it can take up to 48 hours before you can register for courses. You will not be required to pay at this stage.
Step 1: Select your courses
Go to the Course Catalogue, find your degree programme and select the courses you want to follow.
Step 2: Add your chosen courses to the Planner
Go to uva.nl/courseregistration, find your courses and click on ‘Add course’.
Step 3: Check your timetable and select your preferred tutorials
Go to the Planner tab and check your courses’ timetable under ‘Open Timetable’. Select your preferred tutorial groups. Make sure that there is no overlap in your timetable between tutorials, lectures, exams, and resits.
Step 4: Complete the course registration
As soon as the course registration opens: Go to the Planner tab, check the boxes for the tutorials (WG) you wish to follow, click on ‘Register’, then click on ‘OK’. You can always find all your valid course registrations under the ‘Overview of Registrations’ tab.
